REBILD: Rebild Municipality has both the green transition and general preparedness in mind. The Finance Committee has recently decided to continue working on a model for establishing solar cells with a battery solution on municipal buildings.
Anna Oosterhof (V), chairwoman of the municipality's planning, climate and environment committee, tells Danske Kommuner that the municipality has received a number of inquiries about the possibility of solar cells on municipal buildings up to and below KV25, which gave reason to look into it more closely.
- The geopolitical situation has created a lot of uncertainty. And that means we have to look at how we can address all the challenges that exist in our environment. As a municipality, we have a great responsibility in terms of preparedness, and that's why we thought it would be smart to combine some solutions, she says.
She points out that with the new threat level, where hacker attacks can occur against waterworks or local power supplies, it is important to consider supply, security and preparedness where possible. The final decision has not yet been made, because it must first be weighed up whether it will make economic sense: "First, our administration must look at how many buildings we have and where we have the opportunity to invest. In addition, we must also investigate how it can be made economically sensible and sustainable," says Anna Oosterhof.
19,000 sq m of roofs
The decision to investigate the possibility of solar cells comes after the Danish Parliament has relaxed the rules so that municipalities no longer have to establish an independent company to install solar cells on their own buildings.
The municipality has carried out a screening of its buildings, which, among other things, assessed the roof's load-bearing capacity, shading conditions and material to ensure a solid basis for decision-making for the work with solar cells.
The Analysis was prepared by Rambøll and showed a total potential for the installation of solar cells on approximately 19,000 square meters of roofs – this corresponds to an expected annual electricity production of approximately 3 GWh.
